san andreas fault is active tonight. a 2.9 magnitude, technically minor, but nowadays notable, especially after the recent napa quakes. tonight's happen at 8:24 p.m. the quake was centered in la der ra, just a few miles from downtown palo alto. some who felt it initially thought it might be connected to the napa quake ten days ago. >> probably an aftershock. but when i looked it up, it's supposed to be southwest of us. so it's in the other direction. so that's a little more concerning. >> it should be noted the last major rupture of the san andreas fault, the 6.9 loma prieta quake. jeff jeff is with us tracking some of the movement tonight. jeff? >> you mentioned that 2.9 earthquake happening at 8:24 tonight. shortly after that would also give auus a little rise of concn a microearthquake at 6.1. both not strong for bay area standards. but the reason why we all felt this earthquake across parts of the peninsula is the fact that it is 2.9 miles deep. that's extremely shallow. so a lot of the energy from the earthquake was

believe the depletion of groundwater in california's central valley could destabilize the infamous san andreasthe study, published in the journal "nature" concluded that removing so much weight in the form of groundwater cause the earth to spring upward and the change in pressure can cause those quakes. >> the earthquakes are mysterious things that happen under our feet, so, having a way for people to cause these earthquakes to happen is unsettling. >> reporter: experts say the quakes would be small and unlikely to cause any damage. still, it's yet another example of why this drought is causing so much stress to both the land and the mental well being of nearly an entire state. dan simons, cnn, orville, california. >>> good evening, everyone, you're in the cnn newsroom, i'm poppy harlow joining you from new york. >>> in three days, president obama says we will know how he plans to, in his words, systematically degrade the militant group that calls itself isis. without giving details though today, the president said he intends to hurt the group economically and at the same time, those air strik

. >> reporter: the san andreas fault runs right under pacifica. >> we can all go into the ocean. >> we're interested of course in learning about the entire system. >> reporter: seismologists in the usgs in menlo park and from stanford are studying the fault hoping knowledge can prevent such a catastrophe but they may not be able to complete the work. the project is running out of money. >> unless there's a big step up in the funding we won't be able to do the key experiment. >> reporter: the fault runs from the gulf of mexico to cape mendecino. they've already drilled two miles deep in order to install instruments directly below the fault's home. but they need more for that key experiment. >> the goal was to get inside of an earthquake and understand how they happen. how do they start? does anything happen before they begin. >> reporter: getting the money doesn't look good. the national science foundation says it's considering other projects. scientists have been trying to convince the foundation to reconsider. seismologists say they can still keep the lab running even without the foundat

>> this is withstanding the work with the san andreas fault. we have across the hayward faument. fault. the bay and the second tunnel gives us much more resiliency and the pipelines that we built out of division five. we built retrofitted pump station and across transmission lines across the city. we are praepg for that event to occur sometime in the future. will it is survive, that's the question but we are better prepared than 1989. >> i'm talking about the actual pipe? >> the actual pipes in the ground, we are using the material that is flexible. that's what we used in our water distribution system here in the system. and that has some give to it more than the older iron pipes or steel pipes. >>president vince courtney: thank you. are there any public comments on the general manager's report? yes, please. >> thank you, i think that's a great request that you asked whether or not it could withstand in an quake. i didn't hear a yes or no but i'm assuming it's no. we could not afford a system that will fail where the people in i ohio were not able to access their water. we need t

believe the depletion of ground water could lead to increased earthquake activity on the famed san andreasore dramatic images of that california drought. >> reporter: a healthy and full lake in northern california. there's only one problem this picture is three years old. and now i'm walking on top of that very same bridge. take a look. it is a virtual desert. this is what drought looks like in the state of california. here's another before and after side by side. and just when this drought couldn't seem any worse, new research indicates that the depletion of ground water in the state may actually trigger earthquakes. more on that in a moment. first, this is lake oroville. a boaters' paradise at least when it's full. more importantly, it's a reservoir storing water. ultimately piped into homes and for agriculture helping to grow much of the nation's fruits and vegetables. >> we have 167 miles of shoreline. >> reporter: john preto took us on a boat to see that shoreline and it's even more astounding up close. the lake seems more like a narrow river. the drought has created a canyon. a hills

scientists from the usgs as well as stanford university they are trying to get information from the san andreasault that could help predict future quakes. they set up a lab right on the fault in the central valley part of parkfield. they've already drilled two miles down into the fault. they've installed instruments inside the zone but they need $10 million more from the national science foundation to conduct a key experiment. the foundation says it may provide the money to other projects. >> the goal was to get inside of an earthquake and understand how they happen. how do they start? does anything happen before they begin. >>> the scientists say they can keep their lab running without the help of the foundation's money but it won't learn nearly as much. they've been told, they are gonna find out by december if they will be getting that $10 million. >>> santa cruz police are offering a special reward for information about a serial shoplifter. this is the latest picture of the mustached suspect. police say he has stolen electronics from the store three times since july. he made his fourth attem
